Raiders sign former Patriots cornerback Cre’Von LeBlanc

A familiar face is joining the roster overseen by general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels.

On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders announced the signing of ex-New England Patriots cornerback Cre’Von LeBlanc.

LeBlanc, 27, entered the NFL as part of New England’s 2016 undrafted class and reeled in an interception during his rookie preseason before being claimed off waivers. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Florida Atlantic product returned to the organization on the practice squad in January after having his contract with the Houston Texans terminated.

The Patriots did not reach a futures agreement with LeBlanc following last month’s elimination in the AFC wild card, making him a free agent.
